Cremation display with motioning means

Abstract

A cremation display is incorporated into a decorative receiver that is operably controlled by a motioning mechanism. The motioning mechanism is located within a base. The base fully supports the decorative receiver. The receiver can take on a decorative element; certain embodiments incorporate an American flag, while certain other embodiments incorporate a heart. Within the decorative receiver is a liquid that creates a decorative effect when the motioning mechanism is activated. The receiver is also configured to hold the cremated remains.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A remains display, comprising:
 a pair of remains receptacles having a first remains receptacle and a second remains receptacle, the pair of remains receptacles receive a plurality of cremated remains therein; 
 a decorative portion incorporated into a reservoir, a bottom surface of the reservoir, a bottom surface of the first remains receptacle and a bottom surface of the second remains receptacle are each fixedly attached to an upper surface of a planar carriage, a bottom surface of the planar carriage at the center point thereof is pivotally attached with a pivot to a base, said base defining a box; 
 a first alternate display having a first alternate first remains receptacle, a first alternate second remains receptacle, and a first alternate decorative portion capable of replacing the first remains receptacle, the second remains receptacle, and the decorative portion; 
 a second alternate display having a second alternate first remains receptacle; and a second alternate second remains receptacle, and a second alternate decorative portion capable of replacing the first remains receptacle, the second remains receptacle, and the decorative portion; 
 a motor electrically attached to a power supply secured within the base; 
 a motor gear in operable communication with an output shaft of the motor, the motor gear is meshed with and drives a first gear, the first gear is meshed with and drives a second gear, extending outward from the center of the second gear is a gear shaft that is rendered perpendicular from an upper wall and a lower wall of the box; and 
 a rod driven by the gear shaft located off-center to produce a reciprocating action that extends vertically upward and penetrates through the box upper wall to contact an under surface of the planar carriage on either side of either one of a pair of stops affixed to the under surface, the stops limit motion of the remains display in either direction and serves to dampen any rocking. 
 
     
     
       2. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the pair of remains receptacles are each a transparent sealed container having a receptacle fill port to facilitate transfer of the cremated remains within. 
     
     
       3. The remains display according to  claim 2 , wherein each of the receptacle fill ports are sealed with a respective receptacle plug. 
     
     
       4. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the decorative portion, the first alternate decorative portion, and the second alternate decorative portion is made of material selected from the group consisting of tempered glass, plastic, metallic, or one or more organic materials. 
     
     
       5. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the reservoir is a transparent sealed container having a reservoir fill port in fluid communication with an exterior environment to facilitate transfer of a liquid. 
     
     
       6. The remains display according to  claim 5 , wherein the reservoir fill port is sealed with a respective reservoir plug. 
     
     
       7. The remains display according to  claim 5 , wherein the reservoir incorporates illumination entrained within the liquid introduced therein. 
     
     
       8. The remains display according to  claim 7 , wherein the reservoir incorporate one or more floating objects entrained within the liquid introduced therein. 
     
     
       9. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the planar carriage is an elongated rectangular prism. 
     
     
       10. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the box upper wall is pivotally attached to the pivot and also has the rod in operable communication with the planar carriage. 
     
     
       11. The remains display according to  claim 10 , wherein on either side of the pivot is the pair of stops which are capable of restricting the rod on either side of the pivot. 
     
     
       12. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the base includes the bottom wall, a pair of box first walls, a pair of box second side walls, and the upper wall, the bottom wall, the upper wall, the pair of first side walls, and the pair of second side walls are planar and joined at edges thereof to form the box with a hollow interior. 
     
     
       13. The remains display according to  claim 12 , wherein the pair of box first side walls are coextensive with each other and the pair of box second side walls are coextensive with each other. 
     
     
       14. The remains display according to  claim 12 , wherein the pair of box first walls are longer in length than the pair of box second side walls and the pair of box first side walls have a larger height that the pair of box second side walls. 
     
     
       15. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the rod gently contacts an under surface of the planar carriage, which then imparts a pivoting motion to the planar carriage due to the pivot between the planar carriage and the base in a direction opposite the location of the rod. 
     
     
       16. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the planar carriage then pivots to return the under surface of the planar carriage to the rod, which imparts another pivot motion. 
     
     
       17. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supply is a battery. 
     
     
       18. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supply is a cord in electrical communication with a wall outlet. 
     
     
       19. The remains display according to  claim 1 , wherein the motor gear, the first gear, and the second gear is rotatably supported within the base or to each other. 
     
     
       20. The remains display according to  claim 19 , wherein the second gear is a larger gear than the motor gear to provide a step-down in rotation velocity so as to impart a slow but steady vertical reciprocating movement to the rod.
